Yanget Farm · Geraldton, Western Australia

Raising horses as athletes,
from day one

2,000 acres of undulating country, warm winters, and open paddocks — a landscape built for making racehorses. Boutique foaling, agistment, vet care and yearling preparation, 24/7 on the farm.

— The farm

Real horses Real country

Ruby Racing and Breeding is a family-run thoroughbred farm in Geraldton, founded in 2020 by siblings Dan and Jaime O'Bree. The operation sits on Yanget Farm — a 2,000-acre federation property purpose-set up around how horses should be raised, not the other way around.

Our paddocks are large and undulating, our pasture is balanced and natural, our barn is built to a medical standard, and our gates open to a vet partner who is on call year-round. Jaime lives on the farm. The horses are watched 24/7.

We offer a focused set of services — agistment and spelling, mare and foal, foaling, halter breaking and yearling preparation. Limited positions, by design.

— Our philosophy
We pride ourselves on our horses being treated as athletes from the day they are born, giving them a head start in their careers on the track.
Yanget Farm at golden hour — undulating paddocks, hills and homestead in the distance
— The property

Yanget Farm.
Federation homestead, 2,000 acres, since 1908.

About 20 km east of central Geraldton — warm winters, strong feed, and a combination of undulating country and firm rocky ground that simply isn't seen elsewhere in WA. The horse precinct is fully separate from the homestead, with a medical-grade barn, foaling boxes, ICU stables and a vet partner on call year-round.

— Why Yanget

Three reasons we raise horses here.

01

Warm winters

Without the cold, dark winters seen further south, horses don't divert energy into hair and fat reserves. Winter becomes a window to grow — and recovery is much faster.

02

Hills & terrain

Undulating paddocks shed water naturally — no stagnant ground, no foot trouble. The walks to feed and water build muscle, blood flow and good honest condition.

03

Mentality

Larger paddocks, mixed-age herds, calm older nannies for the youngsters. Horses arrive at sale day relaxed, sound and used to handling — because they've spent their whole lives that way.

Yanget Farm veterinary barn
— Vet & foaling

A medical-grade barn, on site.

We offer 24/7 on-farm care. With a vet on call, we manage most non-surgical conditions in our own ICU and vet facility — colics, lacerations, hourly-check stays. CCTV, specialised boxes, any-time medication, and the flexibility to change setups on farm as a case develops.

Foaling is the highest-risk window of a mare's career, and abnormalities aren't rare — every foaling at Yanget is attended on site by an experienced team, around the clock, with vet backup minutes away.

— Beginnings

A family operation,
on the farm every day.

Founded in 2020 by siblings Dan and Jaime O'Bree. Dan manages the racing and breeding side. Jaime lives on farm and runs the stud and 24/7 horse care alongside an experienced team.

Multiple generations of family before us, all heavily involved in the breeding and racing of thoroughbreds. The same instincts, applied to one farm.

— On the track

The same farm has produced a Group 1 winner and a stallion at stud.

The setup speaks for itself, but the record is on the graduates page — Bustler (G1 Railway Stakes), Tiger of Malay (now standing at Newgate, leading first-season sire), Earthstorm, Starry Heights (Star Turn × Sentfromthestars), and a continuing run of black-type performers.

— Plan a visit

Walk the farm. Place a horse.

Yanget welcomes visits by appointment. For agistment, foaling, mare and foal, or yearling preparation — speak directly with Dan or Jaime.
